Re: [PATCH 1/1] security: introduce file posix caps

Hi, Serge.

I packaged the xattr extension of libcap, get/setfcaps command and
manual pages with original libcap-1.10-25.
See, http://www.kaigai.gr.jp/index.php?FrontPage#b556e50d

You can download RPM and SRPM package for the latest FC6 system.
There are no difference at its functionality, but the part of xattr
extension is moved into /lib/libcap.so.1.

Thanks,

Implement file posix capabilities.  This allows programs to be given
a subset of root's powers regardless of who runs them, without
having to use setuid and giving the binary all of root's powers.

This version works with Kaigai Kohei's userspace tools, found at
http://www.kaigai.gr.jp/pub/fscaps-1.0-kg.src.rpm under
http://www.kaigai.gr.jp/index.php?FrontPage#b556e50d.

(For more information on how to use, Chris Friedhoff has posted a nice
page on his use of file caps at http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html.
